'There's the Siren! Aurality and Respresentation of… by Margaret, Trail
The aim of this research project in performance studies was to consider the aurality of (Australian) football: the sounds that are heard and produced by those who play (considering all participants to be players). In so doing it addresses problems that arise when sound is approached as the object of understanding, and experiments with ways to re/present sound without distorting or reducing it within conventional textual, visual or musical modes of representation. This thesis is probably one of the most innovative academic projects associated with socio-cultural analysis of the code.

‘Magical Mixadelics: Listening to Australian Rules… by Margaret Trail
Trail writes about some of her post-graduate level research into the aural aspects of what she refers to as the ‘football discourse’. This encompasses a very broad spectrum of sounds associated with football such as on-field players or umpires talk, crowd reactions, banter, jokes, commentary, clashing of bodies, music and soundbites, anything which is part of the ‘language and sounds of football’.
